Chapter 1408 [Updated on August 31] It's Related to You, Everyone Likes It

Ruoyin and fourth master had eaten together countless times.

It was the first time that I sat by the sea and had a candlelight dinner like this.

The red candles swayed gently in the sea breeze.

The faint light exudes a romantic atmosphere.

This made Ruoyin and fourth master enjoy it more slowly.

Because in this case, people will put aside the pressure of fast-paced life, calm down, and enjoy such a leisurely rest time.

Or maybe, they have such a rare moment and want to enjoy it for a while.

After dinner, Ruoyin and fourth master drank some tea, then stood on the railing of the greenhouse, enjoying the sea breeze and watching the night scene.

The sea at night is deep and more charming than at dusk.

The stars are embedded in the sky, so dazzling.

Just as Ruoyin was fascinated by the stars, there was a loud noise from the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom boom!"

At first, Ruoyin thought it was thunder, and trembled involuntarily.

In the end, he was immediately wrapped in his arms by the fourth master.

The man pointed to the fireworks in the sky, and teased, "It's just that you can't tell the difference between the lake and the sea, but you can't even recognize the fireworks?"

Ruoyin looked up in the direction he pointed, and saw a large expanse of golden fireworks pouring down like a meteor.

She thumped his chest angrily, "I hate it, I don't even say hello when I set off fireworks."

Moreover, Fourth Master took her to the seaside, where they had candlelight dinners, romantic greenhouses, surrounded by lotus and shell lanterns, and strolled on the beach hand in hand.

She thought there was nothing else.

Who knows there will be surprises.

After the fireworks were over, the surroundings returned to calm.

Fourth Master put his arms around the woman in his arms, lowered his head and scratched the tip of her nose, and asked lightly, "Do you like the sea?"

"like."

"Why?"

"no reason."

"There has to be a reason."

Ruoyin leaned on Si Ye's shoulder and thought for a while, then said: "Because the sea is dark blue, like a dream in my heart. I also like sea breeze and waves, and because, with you by my side, my concubine I like it even more.”

Fourth Master: "..."

"Your Majesty, do you like the sea?" Ruoyin asked back.

"like."

"Why?"

"Because you like it, and because you said that the sea is dark blue, which is very much like the dream in your heart." His voice was as deep as the sea, as if any gust of sea breeze could melt into the deep sea.

Translating these words, the literary point is: it has something to do with you, and everyone likes it.

The popular point is: I love Wujiwu, because you like it, so I like it.

Hearing this, Ruoyin's heart was drunk, the corners of her mouth were raised, and even the tip of her heart was sweet.

However, I remembered what fourth master said during the day.

He said that Hangzhou is the last stop of the southern tour and he will return to Beijing soon.

Thinking of this, she held her lips and said: "Your Majesty, you will be returning to the palace soon, will you be unkind to others?"

"From what you mean, did I treat you badly in the palace?" Fourth Master lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms, "Did I make you hungry and uncomfortable, or did I abuse you?"

"No." When he was in the palace, he didn't treat her as well as he does now.

But when he was in the Forbidden City, he was also busier than now.

Compared to the concubines in the harem, he has treated her very well.

But, she just felt uneasy.

That kind of anxiety, in the final analysis, is still insecure.

So, she grabbed his neck and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, do you love concubines?"

Fourth Master: "..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, she continued to pester him and asked, "Yinzhen, do you love me?"

Last time she secretly asked him if he liked her, he secretly avoided her question.

This time, she asked directly.

Fourth master was slightly taken aback when he heard this question.

like? For the first time someone asked him if he loved her.

what is love?

In his circle, he has not seen love.

Whether it's affection or love.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand it himself.

Because in his life, there are too many things more important than love.

But he still held his lips, ready to answer her.

Ruoyin saw fourth master's thin lips parted lightly, and before he could speak, he said, "Don't listen to those perfunctory ones, but listen seriously."

The fourth master laughed lowly, and said dotingly: "Look, I'll give you to the smart one."

After contemplating for a moment, he looked directly into her eyes intently, and said: "The situation in the court is now stable, and the elder brothers have all grown up. It's time for them to be alone."

After a pause, he continued: "Don't you always want to go back to the Old Summer Palace, then I will live with you in the Old Summer Palace."

Ruoyin: "..."

She could understand that fourth master wanted the prince to succeed him.

He and she retreated to the Old Summer Palace and became the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager.

It's just that the fourth master has been hiding the prince's secret letter behind the upright plaque in the Qianqing Palace.

And he has always been a rigorous person, until that step, he will not speak casually to the outside world.

Therefore, she has always been very sensible, and never asked him who he set up, and she never even tried it.

However, looking around, the princes in the harem are all relatively young, and none of them have married yet.

"Your Majesty, they are still young now, wouldn't it be bad to let them take charge so early?"

"What's wrong, Huang Kao was enthroned at the age of eight."

"But Huang Kao came to the throne after Shizu passed away. If Shizu lived for a few more years, Huang Kao wouldn't have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility at the age of eight."

"Facts have proved that ability has nothing to do with age. If you are a person capable of governing a country, even an eight-year-old child is dozens of times stronger than a teenager or even a middle-aged person."

Ruoyin: "..."

She remembered that when Emperor Kangxi passed away, the treasury was short of money, the ministers colluded, the government was corrupt, and the brothers were still young.

Kangxi handed over the throne to the fourth master, and of course the fourth master could not live up to the painstaking efforts and expectations of Emperor Kangxi.

After Siye's rectification after he ascended the throne, the national treasury is sufficient, the remnants of the previous dynasty have been wiped out, and the corruption has improved a lot.

The fourth master had lived up to Emperor Kangxi's expectations.

And at that time, if he did not ascend the throne and the throne fell into the hands of others, those brothers would not let him go.

But it's different now. Of course, fourth master can rest assured that he will hand it over to his son.

The only worry is that the prince was not trained intensively because of the establishment of the prince.

However, over the years, the fourth master has been stricter with the princes, so the elder brothers are all better.

When Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, he was assisted by the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Nowadays, if the prince is inexperienced, wouldn't there be the teaching of the fourth master who was the emperor.

Although Ruoyin didn't hear what fourth master said, "I love you all my life."

But the fourth master secretly hinted that he would retreat to the government and the public, and go to the Yuanmingyuan with her to live a leisurely life.

For her, such words are rarer than the three words "I love you".

Because if he talks about love, but if he does hurtful things, it is better to say these practical words.

What's more, for a man like fourth master, those domineering love words and poisonous words come as soon as he opens his mouth.

But this kind of love, love, he hardly talks about it.

This kind of words cannot be said easily, and it is more precious than sweet words.

No wonder the fourth master said on the day he took her out of the palace, "Yinyin, this is my first southern tour after I ascended the throne. I want to go with you and take another good look at my country."

She said at the time that this sounded like she would never be an emperor again.

Or something like the kind of emperor who is dying of illness.

After all, being an emperor is never enough.

Emperor Kangxi wanted to borrow another five hundred years from the sky.

Thinking about it now, she kind of understood what he meant.

It is estimated that in the past few years since Si Ye took the throne, in order to stabilize the situation in the capital, he has always handled government affairs in the Forbidden City.

Did not take a good look at his country.

So after she drew such a picture, he had the idea of ​​taking her on a southern tour.

At this moment, the vacant sense of security in Ruoyin's heart seemed to be filled by fourth master in no time.

She leaned into his arms and said coquettishly: "Oh, that's not what people asked, what are you talking about..."

Seeing her shyly buried in his arms, the man lifted her chin and made her look directly at him.

At this moment, each other's eyes are full of each other's shadow.

With such a coquettish and coquettish appearance, fourth master was a little distracted.

He carried her horizontally into the greenhouse.

For some reason, the two of them lay on the brocade quilt......

It was a long, long time before they let go of all their fatigue and embraced each other to sleep.

In the next few days, Ruoyin and fourth master lived like a fairy couple.

Sun, sand, surf, cacti, but no old captain.

Because... this area was contracted by the fourth master.

And this southern tour, because Ruoyin painted the sea as the source, also ended successfully at the stop of Youhai.

It's a coincidence that I encountered so many big and small things along the way.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, it was surprisingly peaceful, so peaceful that Ruoyin felt that it was not real enough.

Just like the seemingly calm sea surface, the dark tide is actually raging, and a big wave will roll up at some point.

------

On August 18th, Ruoyin and fourth master embarked on their way back to the capital.

On the way back to Beijing, Ruoyin found a rather gratifying question.

That is, the status of women in the dynasty is slowly rising.

After all, the ancestors, mothers, sisters, and daughters of those men were all women.

Even if they disagree for a while, it's useless.

It can be seen that men are used to women!

At the same time, somewhere in the Qing Dynasty, a man leaned back on the black sandalwood chair.

The light outside hit his back, looking a little gloomy.

The man rubbed the huge finger on his thumb, and asked casually: "How is the matter going?"

Behind him, there is a masked man in black.

I only heard the man in black reply: "Returning to the master, the emperor is too cunning. Every time he sets off, there will be one or more than two carriages as doubles, which makes us useless every time. As a result, several months have passed, and no trace of them has been found.”

"After a few experiences, the servants sent a few more teams to follow them, and finally found their traces in the first generation of Suzhou. Judging from the current situation, they are ready to return to Beijing."

The man's fingertips tapped on the armrest a few times, making a slight sound.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and it's only been three years since he ascended the throne, so I've found such an opportunity." He sneered, and said, "No matter how much the price is passed on, he will not be allowed to return to the capital alive." !"
